Still scratching my head with this. 

It has “throw a bunch of stuff at the wall and see what sticks” written all over it. 

That is soooo not Apple, which is notoriously well managed and says no to a million things before saying yes to one. 

Apple will foil for years on end to mail something and only when they are 100% certain that no one could possibly do any better, they prep the market and launch with a resounding impact. Major success and even segment redefinition follows. 

This…is not that. 

This is what a Microsoft or Google would do. Not Apple. Tech executive focus groups now, surrounded by manipulative upscale trimmings? Strange days. 

Hopefully either this rumor is false - or this is one of the things Apple says no to. 

I thought you were going to get rid of your wi-fi and get a flip phone. Yet here you are, posting again with what is likely wi-fi and not a flip-phone. People just don’t have the courage of their convictions anymore…

I'm so over accidentally launching apps, or inputting random info because my fingers barely touched the screen edge on my 12 mini.
I moved two of the home screen apps off the bottom row because my little finger would constantly activate whatever was in the lower right corner.
Thinner bezels!  Progress?

It’s the mini. Are you being forced to buy it? Maybe you should look into getting a larger iPhone.

As an investor, what worries me…

As an investor in it for the long haul, I wouldn’t be too worried about this. That’s an emotional response that, when happens em masse, tends to impact share price negatively. Apple has done a great job and is in it for the long haul. Case in point, they don’t have mass layoffs. Nothing but a bunch of naysayers. Is it possible apple might actually give a shit about their employees? If even just a little? Stop worrying, stop checking the share price daily and start living your life. You only get one and you might as well enjoy it. Sheesh!!! The global money-centric mentality (gotta make more, bcoz there is never enough…) is killing society.

Of course, what's not mentioned is if it costs more. "Clean" energy certainly costs more to produce, so if the power company is charging you more, this feature is costing you money. I'll be turning this off. Until China, India and other developing countries are compelled to share the burden of "saving the planet" with those of us in the west, I'm (literally) not buying it.

Just turn it off and save yourself the anger. No one really needs the negativity and the vitriol certainly doesn’t contribute anything helpful.
